Unawakening
Float (Part 7 of 8)
Sonic and Shahra raced through the room, smashing skeletons and blowing evil spirits away. "Keep it up! We can hurry! By the time Erazor notices, we'll be right at his door! " "Roger!" As they cleared the room, a loud moan could be heard from Solomon's throne room. "Let's go!" Sonic rushed towards the sound. "Your majesty! Are you okay?" Sonic searched frantically around the room, but didn't find the king.
"AHHH! Dang it! Where is he?" "Maybe he…" Shahra couldn't finish her sentence, because honestly, she hadn't a clue. Then, as if on cue, Solomon jumped out at them, in his body! "Sorry there! Thought you were robbers!" he said once he figured out who it was. "King Solomon! You got your body back! But how?" Well, once you defeated those 40 thieves, my bones just popped back on!" Wow. That was a big relief."
"Tell me about it. Well, now that I'm back to normal, I can take care of the rest of the Djinns here. You can go with these." The wise king pulled two rings out of his hand, and handed them to him.
"Go. Take the green ring of hate, and the purple ring of Sorrow, and use them to defeat Erazor Djinn. "Yes Sir!" Sonic and Shahra sped out of the room, away from Skeleton Dome, and towards the surface. As they climbed, Sonic felt something above him. There, on the ledge, was the light blue world ring!. "Hey! Here's another ring!" Sonic grabbed it, and was washed over with extreme pleasure.
"Wow, this feels good! It's all warm and tingly!" "Sonic, be careful! You don't know what will happen!" Shahra almost dragged Sonic out of the hole, because he was busy holding the ring.
As they walked down the road, Sonic was thinking. Well, this is it. At first, I thought that this some crazy dream, but here I stand, preparing to face evils no sane person would conceive. Just one more ring to go, and I'll be ready to face him. Sonic and Shahra Soon reached Erazor's lair, Night Palace. The Palace was huge, and was suspended in midair by magic. "So, this is where Erazor is." Sonic dashed down the ways and rooms, smashing any Djinns that got in his way.
Of course, Erazor knew Sonic was coming for him, so he set up traps, sent henchmen everywhere, and locked himself in his throne room. "That fool wouldn't DARE come here, if he knew what was good for him.!" Erazor cackled as Sonic blasted through the rooms, dodging Djinns, rotating saw-blades, a magically charged trap door that lead to his room, and fireballs.
"Wow! This is tight!" Sonic grinded a rail, then kicked himself off of a Djinn, and onto the ledge, where the first hourglass lay waiting. He soon found out, after noticing that the walls, floor, and temperature rise, that he needed to collect three cleverly hidden hourglasses rushed out of the room, hoping to collect
The seventh and final ring. The white ring of Wishes, was in the third room, which Sonic was getting to. Repeating the same task over and over can be annoying, but for Sonic, it meant saving his life, as well as every other person's life in the world of the Arabian nights.
"Sonic! Watch out!" Shahra screamed as Sonic used Time Break to get past spinning spike-balls, flamethrowers, and pitfalls. Time slowed to a crawl, and Sonic would never get used to the feeling. After the ability ended, the two jumped on a magic carpet, flying towards Erazor's hideout. "Check out the view!" Sonic exclaimed as he soared high above the clouds.
After flying in silence for some time, Sonic and Shahra's hand touched. They pulled away from each other, blushing. "Sorry, Master." "No, it was my fault. I need to pay attention." Shahra never really thought about it, but Sonic was kind of cute. His spiky blue hair, green eyes, and peach skin glowed in the moonlight.
Sonic also noticed something about her to. She was his age, if not, only one year older, and was very cute-looking. Shahra's pink hair flashed in the light, and her eyes glistened.
"Master, we should be arriving soon." "Good! We'll show this creep! Come On!" Sonic arched the carpet so that it spiraled towards the throne room. "HERE WE GOOOOO!!!!" Sonic and Shahra crash-landed onto the shiny palace floor. "Well, we're here." "Yeah! Come on!" Sonic burst through the doors, and Erazor was their waiting, the final ring in his hand…
